Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are reportedly interested in prising former Doncaster Rovers playmaker Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa.

The 23-year-old is a product of Villa’s youth system and has spent the entirety of his career on the club’s books.

However, in 2020, he enjoyed a productive loan spell in South Yorkshire. Doncaster recruited Ramsey during the reign of Darren Moore and he scored three goals in seven appearances.

The Covid-19 pandemic cut Ramsey’s loan short, although he soon found himself in the first-team picture at Villa Park anyway.

There has been speculation regarding his future in recent months, with Italian giants Inter Milan among those linked with the attack-minded midfielder.

According to Give Me Sport, North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham are both keen on securing his services, as are Newcastle.

He is under contract at Villa until 2027, although next summer may be the ideal time to sell if maximising profit is the goal. Once he enters the final year of his deal, his value will drop considerably.

There remains the possibility that Ramsey could sign a new deal, although it appears he may have option should he wish to seek pastures new.

Since making his senior breakthrough, Ramsey has amassed 131 appearances for Villa and scored 14 goals.
